The four-time national champion Sun Devils (1972, 1973, 2008, and 2011) will make their 12th appearance in the Women's College World Series in the NCAA era, and 18th including the pre-NCAA era.
Senior pitcher Breanna Macha took care of business in the circle, striking out six Gamecock batters and holding South Carolina to just two runs for her 16th win of the season.
